Did you know that the average person
has 5 million hairs? Hair grows all over
your body except on your lips, palms and
the soles of your feet. It takes about
four months for healthy hair to grow an
inch. Most hairs grow for up to six
years and then fall out. New hairs grow
in their place.

Men - and some women - lose hair as
they grow older. You can also lose your
hair if you have certain diseases, such
as thyroid problems, diabetes or lupus.
If you take certain medicines or have
chemotherapy for cancer, you may also
lose your hair. Other causes are a low
protein diet, a family history or poor
nutrition.
